Ordinary Man |
| Look in the mirror tell me what do you see |
| Or can you lie to yourself like you’re lyin' to me |
| Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right |
| Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night |
| You want to think you’re different, but you know you never can |
| You’re just another ordinary man |
| Hey politician, can’t believe a word you say |
| Almighty media, whose truth d’you serve today? |
| Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you? |
| Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to? |
| The more I get to see, the less I understand |
| I’m just another ordinary man |
| Ordinary man |
| Ordinary man |
| Just another ordinary man |
| Comes a time to take a stand |
| No rest for the wicked — they get it while they can |
| The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman |
| Everybody plays the game they played since time began |
| Lawyers and accountant — your media man |
| Everybody’s talkin' but nothin’s gettin' said |
| You’re looking for the truth you better look inside your head |
| I see the flash of lightnin' |
| I hear the thunder roll |
| A hungry knife, a slice of life |
| It cuts another soul |
| Power finds a way to those who take a stand |
| Stand up ordinary man |
| Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free |
| But now I feel the chains of its responsibility |
| I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe |
| I’ll give myself away with a blind and simple faith |
| I’m just the same as you I just do the best I can |
| That’s the only answer… for an ordinary man |
| No such thing as easy answers |
| You play to win and you take your chances |
| Here’s to health, here’s to wealth |
| May you never doubt yourself |
